Installation rules of fibrous (gypsum) plaster works

This Technical Report provides details on the rules and recommendations for the installation of works carried
out using fibrous (gypsum) plaster casts as defined in European Standard EN 13815, with instructions and
details about construction.
Fibrous (gypsum) plaster casts from the three categories of production below (see 4.1 of EN 13815:2006)
should be involved in this Technical Report:
a) "cpp" allowing regulatory marking CE,
b) "cppv" allowing regulatory marking CE,
c) "ipp" either when CE marking is required or without CE marking (see Annex D, note 2 of EN 13815:2006).
There are three products:
- traditional fibrous (gypsum) plaster casts, and two specific products:
- GRG casts,
- PMGRG casts.
NOTE 1 Construction of traditional gypsum plaster works using screwed system, showing similar provisions with GRG
works screwed construction, is not dealt in this Technical Report.
NOTE 2 PMGRG works are not dealt in this Technical Report.
There are three ranges of casts, defined by their principal functions shapes and configurations (see 4.2 of
EN 13815:2006):
- casts for interior architecture,
- casts for technical functions and
- units.
The equipment, accessories and devices are defined in this document.
This Technical Report applies to both new construction and to the refurbishment, restructuring or conversion
of existing buildings.
Fibrous plastering work should be capable of having the usual finishes applied directly to them (e.g. paint,
wallpaper), subject to the normal preparatory work applicable for the finish.
This Technical Report should not apply to:
- works consisting of various boards, elements or casts when they are not fibrous (gypsum) plaster casts or
fibrous plaster works which, by their nature, do not form an integral part of the structure by the use of
permanent fixing (see the scope of EN 15319:2007).
- fibrous plaster works consisting of casts and embellishments, when they are to be applied directly to
either new or existing wall or ceiling surfaces, for purely decorative applications (see Figures 3 and 4 of
EN 15319:2007); works of these types should be carried out in accordance with standard practice.
This Technical Report does not contain the regulatory requirements with which fibrous plaster works (e.g.
ceiling) must comply in certain buildings.

Introduction
This Technical Report applies to works carried out using fibrous (gypsum) plaster products-traditional and
GRG - made by the moulding of thin reinforced gypsum.
The fibrous plaster work is installed by positioning and fastening of these products to the appropriate part of
the building construction. Then they are sealed or screwed and jointed to form continuous surfaces without
apparent joints.
NOTE The figures used to illustrate this document are intended to make the text easier to understand. Therefore,
they shall be taken as indicative and non-restrictive examples of the works described in the text.
